EMIR

Autumn 2014 London

Course Description

The EU has taken on board the G20 commitments and recommendations on reforming the derivatives market. ‘EMIR’ (the European Market Infrastructure Regulation) is the central pillar of this wide ranging program of regulatory reform. It builds a new regulatory framework where market participants have to play and define a new set of rules to comply with. EMIR is significantly shaping the derivatives’ world and affects risk management, counterparty risk – including central counterparties – clearing, collateralisation and reporting.

EMIR introduces a number of complex issues and creates challenges and risks on one side and opportunities on the other side for all market participants, mainly banks, asset managers and other financial services firms, i.e. custody and financial advisors.

During this highly practical 1 day course you will have a chance to learn about the key elements of the new regulation as well as opportunities and challenges that come with it. You will also be able to identify the relevant issues for your organisation and how EMIR can impact your business.
